DESCRIPTION:A Latin square of order n is an n x n grid filled with n symbo
 ls such that each symbol appears exactly once in each row and column. A tr
 ansversal in a Latin square of order n is a collection of n cells such tha
 t each row\, column and symbol appears exactly once in the collection. \n\
 nLatin squares were introduced by Euler in the 1700s and he was interested
  in the question of when a Latin square decomposes fully into transversals
 . \n\nWe'll discuss some of the history of this question\, including some 
 recent joint work with Richard Montgomery.
